I'm so sorry to hear the test didn't go your way. It's vital to remember that this test score does not define you! Remember there you still have at least August and October! Try to think about the score from a different perspective. It's an indicato…

A 156 after 6 months of studying for my first LSAT. I don’t know if I should be proud or concerned with my score.
I agree with everything else that was said. Also don't forget that the LSAT isn't the only number they take in…

I think you're absolutely right that it's not rare to suffer homelessness or to have served in the military. There are so many people in this country who are still homeless today because live has served them a bad deal. The way I see i…

I am taking the test for the first time tomorrow! This may be a silly question, but do you get breaks in between the sections or are they back to back?
You get 1 minute in between sections before the next section automatically…
Anyone else here keep replaying games in your head wondering if you made a huge mistake and second guessing everything? I honestly felt Games was pretty standard. One game was worded oddly in the stimulus (the museum game) but then I realized it was…
The Writing portion is available for the June test, as of June 4th, (last friday). You can take the writing portion at any time, but know that they won't release your LSAT score until they have a writing portion processed and on file, which I've hea…
@sarahblair I think another reason why they don't allow reading aloud, is because they're trying their best to mimic pre-covid testing conditions. In a live test space obviously you wouldn't be allowed to read aloud, so in that sense I can understan…
It may help you to think about LG like you would RC. spend more time upfront reading the stimulus and rules, and setting up the game board, and less time on the questions. Don't give yourself the chance to misread the rules by rushing. spending an e…
People may have already mentioned this, but I would recommend that you drill only setups for a while. For example, take a fresh game and practice writing out the gameboard/rules/and inferences, until you think you've exhausted everything - do that a…
Bagelinthemorning, just be wary that one strategy might not work for every question of that type. In later tests there are plenty of Necessary assumption questions where the AC's are purposely negation-proof, so the negation strategy doesn't work q…
Weakening/Strengthening questions can be tricky! but don't confuse them with Necessary/Sufficient assumption questions.
In every weakening question your job is to read a stimulus and choose an answer choice that best weakens that argument. Every ar…
All of the sections are Logical Reasoning until you get to **Intro to Logic Games**** the exceptions are the Grammar, and Basic/Advanced Logic sections which are earlier in the CC
@Jugartha98 @benjinewman7 the moderators of the webinar actually requested that we don't share any of the information that was provided, and recordings weren't allowed
It's definitely possible, but it won't happen magically. You just have to put in the work! I'm a musician, so I like to think of the LSAT like learning this crazy new piece. The first time I try to play a new piece that I've never seen before it sou…
I'm so glad you found my response helpful! One more thing to keep in mind for LR. The answer to the question is always in the stimulus - one of your goals should be to work on predicting what the correct answer would be before even looking at the ch…
The Core Curriculum is designed to give you a solid foundation and understanding of the question types and LG game types. Don't feel like you need to complete all of the problem sets under each section of the CC. J.Y actually said in one of his podc…
Can anyone else confirm that silently mouthing words when reading isn't allowed? I have a habit of silently mouthing words when reading in RC as it helps me be more active - I saw one person post that they were called out on this, but wondering if a…
Do you recall what happens in the moment when you encounter a difficult game such as a hard grouping game or a misc game? It's really easy to panic and let those games get the better of you, but it's vital to stay calm. J.Y mentions this in a bunch …
I think that's a totally sound strategy. I would focus on perfecting every single logic game from 1-35. But also note that Logic games change slightly in the mid 50's. For me I try to do around 2 PT's a week and BR them. and a full LG section just …
I had the same thought and decided to supplement the Core curriculum with Loophole. I would definitely agree that you should finish at least the LR portion of the core curriculum (don't feel like you need to do all of the problem sets) but at least …
Hey Sara, I'd be interested in doing some BR/Section review for June. I've been hovering around a 164/165 for the past month or so with the occasional dip into the low 160's. I'm shooting for a 166-169 for June.
I feel like I'm quite strong in LG …

Hey Carly, I totally empathize with your post. We're all there with you!
I think what makes RC so difficult, especially for people who are big readers, is that it requires a completely different type of reading than what most everyo…
